Alighieria is made up of three products, which can be purchased separately or together:
Alighieria Editor
An AI-assisted editorial tool for proofreading and reviewing texts: copyediting, continuity, fact checking and layout review, with corrections downloadable with tracked changes; indexes, translation and translation review, dossiers and reports, ePub generation, OCR, AI detection, communication content and an editorial assistant that answers questions about the book itself.
Alighieria Publisher
A management system for publishing houses: contracts and rights, distributor sales reports, author royalty statements, invoicing, expenses and finances, catalogue and imprints, stock, costings, editorial planning and analytics, with AI-assisted extraction of data from the documents uploaded by the user.
Alighieria Desk
A writing space for books and screenplays where authors and editors write, comment, suggest changes and deliver works, with writing aids and Alighieria tools. Access to Desk is exclusively by invitation from a publishing house that uses Alighieria.
Common features
- 24/7 access to the services, except for scheduled maintenance

Results generated with artificial intelligence (corrections, extracted data, calculations or suggestions) are proposals that support editorial work. The final decision on their use always rests with the user.
